Orel, I don't know. I guess I just liked the idea of including both somewhere on the page. Also, even though "robots took my medicine" is only one letter longer than "robots are everywhere" it just felt so long.

Steve, he's not a "beau". He's Jesus Flores, for somewhat reason he put himself to my side, i felt uncomfortable, but i couldn't speak, move or breathe...for that matter. In the full size picture, you can see i'm blushing...

I just don't know what to do about this team. There are no more adjectives to use to describe them, and there are only so many times we can talk about how awful they are. Too many games left in the season to keep seeing this over and over again.

CRAP. Torre needs to sit down with this team and kick them in the ass. This team is too good to have only 7 hits and one run to show for it. The pitchers keep them in the game and 1 for 12 with RISP is horrible. We are probably going to be 4 out after tonight. The fricken' ROCKIES are going to over take this team.

I know we all believe this team doesn't really deserve to make the playoffs, but the thing is, Arizona refuses to take over.

Right now, they're losing 5-2 to the Padres in the fifth inning. It'll still be a three-game deficit if the Padres hang on, and if we can keep it there (or make it a little less) by winning against the Nationals (easier said than done, apparently) and hoping the Diamondbacks lose, then we'll control our own destiny this weekend.

I guess that's the best any team can hope for. Now we just have to see if the Dodgers will ever step up to the plate and take advantage of their situation.

Problem is, the Dodgers basically have to sweep the D'backs to make up significant ground. Even two 2-1 series wins (which I would be happy with, by the way) "only" makes up two games in the standings.
